Thank God for socialist education, infrastructure, health care

Lately I've been hearing a lot about people who "built it themselves" - who succeeded entirely on their own without getting a socialist handout. Well, that's an impressive feat, but I'm afraid I didn't accomplish it.

I got to go to college on the socialist G.I. bill. That was a big opportunity for me. Actually I got all my education in the socialist public schools and state colleges.

For years my job required me to drive on the socialist interstate highways, built and maintained by the feds. Come to think of it, our socialist state highways and local streets are paid for with taxes. I guess without socialism, we'd all still be riding horses.

We vacation at our socialist parks and are entertained and informed by socialist public broadcasting. And I don't know how we'd even survive without our socialist Social Security. I could write a book here praising socialism, but I know the paper has limited space for opinions.

Every day I thank God for American socialism, because I am protected against crime, terrorism and wildfire by true heroes who draw paychecks from the government. And because without socialist Medicare, I would certainly be dead.
